Answer:

2, -4, -10 and -18.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

x^2-3x+b      ...(i)

We need to find the 4 values of b which make the expression factorable.

A polynomial is factorable if both roots are real.

If \alpha \text{ and }\beta are two real roots of a polynomial, then the polynomial is defined as

P(x)=x^2-(\alpha+\beta)x+\alpha\beta         ....(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

\alpha+\beta=3     ...(iii)

\alpha\beta=b

For equation (iii), possible pairs of \alpha \text{ and }\beta are (2,1), (4,-1), (5,-2) and (6,-3).

From these ordered pairs the values of b are

b=\alpha\beta=2\times 1=2

b=\alpha\beta=4\times (-1)=-4

b=\alpha\beta=5\times (-2)=-10

b=\alpha\beta=6\times (-3)=-18

Therefore, the four possible values of b are 2, -4, -10 and -18.
